ART BLAKEY - ORGY IN RHYTHM VOLUME 1

Volume 1 of this 2 lp set -volume 2 was posted some time ago but had a request for this so here it is. A whopping heavy percussion jam session, led by Art Blakey, and featuring a host of Latin percussionists that includes Sabu Martinez, Patato Valdez ,Ubaldo Nieto,Evilio Quintero and Jose Valentine plus additional jazz drummers Art Taylor, Joe Jones, and Specs Wright underpinned by Wendell Marshall on bass. Herbie Mann's flute and Ray Bryant's piano add some additional non-percussive solos.Check out the furious Split Skins which is a workout for the trio of Blakey,Art Taylor and Jo Jones all knocking seven shades of shit out of their kits.
